Hillcrest Electric Corporation

Hillcrest Electric is a Needham electrical contractor that's been around since 1966 (incorporated in 2001), run by Bill LeMay Jr., and its Massachusetts electrician license is verified active with the state. Google shows a 4.9★ average from 13 ratings, and BBB gives it an A+. Reviewers describe a range of everyday electrical jobs done well. In a December 2025 review, a longtime customer described a quick, well-priced transfer switch installation for a generator and battery setup, and said they'd since called Hillcrest for exterior issues other electricians had caused. In a 2025 review, someone had a ceiling fan installed on a high ceiling — a trickier job — and called it first-rate, on-time work. A 2023 review described a same-day Tesla Wall Connector install with a professional, on-time visit from first call to invoice, and another from the same year said the company had been their go-to for 9 years running: responsive, reasonably priced, trustworthy. In a 2021 review, a customer described replacing outdated 2-prong outlets and switches and upgrading circuit breakers to meet code, calling the company honest and quick to fit them in. There's nothing negative on record. The company is a member of the Needham Chamber of Commerce, though its own website is a bare placeholder with no services or service area listed — the actual picture of what they do comes from the reviews rather than their marketing. For a straightforward residential job — outlet work, fan or fixture installs, EV charger setup — this looks like a reliable, fairly priced call, with a track record that goes back years.
